    Fuel screw/droop balance?

    I did a bunch of reading in the search function here before I messed with mine. You will find pictures and diagrams in the "bypass FDC" threads that are helpful to your question. I was bypassing my leaking FDC which brought me to the rest of the fuel metering and droop screw info. The droop...

    my experience with wet stacking

    I was at Amtrak's Wilmington shops for a class in the '90's. There was a locomotive (F40) there that was used for employee testing that sat idle for ages never having been out on the road working a load in who knows when. Well...a couple of morons with just a tiny amount of knowledge got to...

    Another fuel pump went bad

    Have you checked to see if you have an intermittent bad ground from that pump? A bit of rust where it grounds to the frame...wiggle the line changing it out and good for a couple of months then no go again...just tossing ideas out.

    What can of worms am I opening

    Since the gentlemen from Indiana and Ohio are decidedly not helpful, here is what I did. My M35A2 is simply registered as a big pick up truck. I get it a standard safety inspection at the quickie lube each year. Not going the FMV tag route I am able to drive it to work, corner store, kids...

    Deuce not idling!!!

    Never pre-fill the filters...you are putting unclean fuel into the cannisters which will go straight to the injection pump and injectors. There are very fine tolerances in the pump and injectors, thus, three sets of filters. You should install the filters dry, open the small bleeder on top of...

    Deuce not idling!!!

    The primary works as a water seperator as well, that's why it is deeper than the filter in it. The petcock on the bottom should be opened with the in tank pump on and fuel drained into a clear container to see if you have water. I just use an old cut off water bottle but anything like that will...

    Inspection Sticker Requirement (New)

    Yes on the inspection if over 4,000 pounds, but..... If you register an M105 trailer with the empty wieght of 2750 and load capacity of 1000, for a total of 3750 then... no annual inspection required. It's all in how you do the initial paperwork at the county tax office to tag it. I will never...

    Pros and Cons of zipper boots

    I used new zipper boots from Erik's and they seem to be very good quality. There is a PS article in the TM sections I think that has a step by step for changing them out without the full tear down you want to avoid. It advises putting the "adhesive" (read sealer) on the inside of the zipper then...
